Abstract

An illuminating system includes illumination device adapted for being installed inside a car cabin, and an operation device being able to wirelessly operate illumination modes of the illumination device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. An illuminating system comprising:
 an illumination device adapted for being installed inside a car cabin; and 
 an operation device being able to wirelessly operate a plurality of illumination modes of said illumination device, for generating a dramatic lighting effect, 
 wherein said plurality of illumination modes comprises color adjustments of light sources, luminance adjustments and illumination position. 
 
   
   
     2. An illuminating system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a control unit for controlling said plurality of illumination modes of said illumination device, said control unit having a wireless receiving unit, 
 wherein said control unit receives illumination mode control data from said operation device to thereby control said plurality of illumination modes of said illumination device. 
 
   
   
     3. An illuminating system according to  claim 1 , wherein said operation device may be connected to at least one of a communication network and an information processing device, and
 wherein an illumination mode operation software for controlling illumination modes of said illumination device may be introduced into said operation device trough one of said communication network and said information processing device. 
 
   
   
     4. An illuminating system according to  claim 1 , wherein said operation device comprises a wireless function. 
   
   
     5. An illuminating system according to  claim 1 , wherein said operation device comprises one of a portable information processing terminal and a portable communication terminal. 
   
   
     6. An operation device adapted for an illumination device for illuminating an interior of a car cabin by operating a plurality of illumination modes for generating a dramatic lighting effect, said operation device comprising a wireless communication unit,
 wherein said plurality of illumination modes comprises color adjustments of light sources, luminance adjustments and illumination position. 
 
   
   
     7. An operation device according to  claim 6 , wherein said operation device is connected to at least one of a communication network and an information processing device, and
 wherein an illumination mode operation software for controlling illumination modes of said illumination device may be introduced into said operation device through one of said communication network and said information processing device. 
 
   
   
     8. An operation device according to  claim 6 , wherein said operation device comprises a wireless function. 
   
   
     9. An operation device according to  claim 6 , wherein said operation device comprises one of a portable information processing terminal and a portable communication terminal. 
   
   
     10. The illuminating system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 read only memory; and 
 a random access memory. 
 
   
   
     11. The illuminating system according to  claim 10 , wherein said read only memory stores illumination data and dramatic presentation data for executing said plurality of illumination modes. 
   
   
     12. The illuminating system according to  claim 11 , wherein said operation device comprises a memory that stores program data for operating said plurality of operation modes. 
   
   
     13. The illuminating system according to  claim 1 , wherein said illuminating device comprises a LED light source. 
   
   
     14. The illuminating system according to  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of illumination modes further comprises at least one of a fade-in time and a fade-out time. 
   
   
     15. An operation device according to  claim 6 , wherein said plurality of illumination modes comprises at least one of a fade-in time and a fade-out time. 
   
   
     16. An illuminating system comprising:
 an illumination device adapted for being installed inside a car cabin; and 
 an operation device being able to wirelessly operate a plurality of illumination modes of said illumination device, for generating a dramatic lighting effect, 
 wherein said plurality of illumination modes comprises color adjustments of light sources, fade-in time and fade-out time. 
 
   
   
     17. An illuminating system comprising:
 an illumination device adapted for being installed inside a car cabin; and 
 an operation device being able to wirelessly operate a plurality of illumination modes of said illumination device, for generating a dramatic lighting effect, 
 wherein said plurality of illumination modes comprises color adjustments of light sources, fade-in time, fade-out time, luminance adjustments and illumination position. 
 
   
   
     18. An illuminating system comprising:
 an illumination device adapted for being installed inside a car cabin; and 
 an operation device being able to wirelessly operate a plurality of illumination modes of said illumination device, for generating a dramatic lighting effect, 
 wherein said plurality of illumination modes comprises color adjustments of light sources, and 
 wherein said illuminating system comprises:
 a plurality of illumination devices; and 
 a plurality of control units, and 
 
 wherein one of said plurality of control units is incorporated into each of said plurality of illumination devices.
